Problems we have and may never be able to solve until a collapse:

- Electoral college - YES only a few states decide the president! Everyone else should just stay home!

- 2 Party system - LOOOOONG campaigns flood money into the two major party candidates - no one else will ever have a chance

- Term Limits - they would have to vote for it themselves when they ALWAYS significantly increase their net worth while in office

- Open primaries - If we could all vote for primary candidates REGARDLESS of party, we would have more centrist choices and not lunatics.

Thanks for your comment.

The presidential election is only one of many things on the ballot.

Voter turnout doesn't matter anywhere, on the margin.
